Antarctica is one of the most valuable ecosystems in the world that has not yet been impacted greatly by human activity. This frozen continent is home to about 10,000 species, some of which cannot be found anywhere else on the planet. While other ecosystems throughout the world have been devastated by development, pollution, and mining, amongst other anthropogenic actions, Antarctica remains intact with all predator species still flourishing. Agenda Antártica is a non-governmental organization that aims to work for the environmental preservation of the Antarctic continent and Antarctic Ocean, research in polar affairs, and the cooperation of the people of the southern regions.
